Coronation Street star Sydney Martin has been declaring her love for one of her castmates, whom she says she is ‘so lucky’ to work alongside.

The actress joined the ITV soap last year as new character Betsy Swain. Sydney originally applied for two smaller roles at the beginning of 2024.

However, two weeks later, she was invited to audition for the role of teenager Betsy, which she was given after a two-month audition process.

She then made her on-screen debut last summer as Betsy arrived on the Cobbles amidst the shocking Joel Deering and Lauren Bolton grooming storyline, before it was revealed that she was the daughter of DS Lisa Swain.

She soon ruffled feathers amongst some on the cobbles, landing herself a job at Underworld with Carla Connor. Since then, Lisa has got into a relationship with the factory boss, and fans have been hopeful of seeing the trio blossom as their own little family.

And while those relationships continue to unfold on-screen, it is clear that Sydney and on-screen mum Vicky Myers are a close team away from the cobbles.

On Wednesday (May 7), Vicky marked four years since she first appeared in Corrie as Lisa, then just DS Swain. She joined the ITV soap in 2021 and made sporadic appearances as the detective sergeant.

But it wasn’t actually until last year that Viky was given the regular role of Lisa on the cobbles and has been a major part of a number of storylines since.

However, the soap star has now officially marked four years since her Corrie debut. Taking to social media, she shared a number of previously unseen pictures from her first stint on the Cobbles, including DS Swain’s police lanyard and her own name on a dressing room door.

Alongside the post on Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter, the soap star said: “Four years of DS Lisa Swain. I can’t quite believe it’s been four years. What a journey, what a story, what a woman, and there’s plenty more to come!

“Whether you love her or hate her, thank you. Forever grateful. Thank you @itvcorrie And thank YOU #LisaSwain #Corrie. Explaining the pictures, she added: “After wrap on the first 4 eps in ‘21.”

Sydney was quick to reshare Vicky’s post to her own Instagram Story and said: “That’s my TV mama!!” alongside a string of star emojis. She also echoed the sentiment on X as she wrote: “that’s my on screen mama,” with the same star emojis.

Sydney also showed her support by commenting on Vicky’s Instagram post as she gushed: “And what a talent you are [star emoji]. So lucky I’ve been a small part of your Corrie journey so far [face holding back tears emoji]. love you mama swain.”

Meanwhile, fellow Corrie star, and off-screen bestie, Sally Carman-Duttine, who plays Weatherfield’s Abi Webster, said: “You are the best!! Here’s to the next four you amazing woman!” while Alya Nazir actress Sair Khan added: “Woohoo.”
